Hi Stewart, I hear what you are saying and politically speaking I understand your comment. Not that I would agree - but this does not matter.
But just thinking on the technical level I do not understand it. Are you saying that maybe in 2030 it would not be legally possible to create a link of some form (physical or virtual) and run single IGP between US and Europe ? Or between EMEA and Japan ? Or EMEA to Africa ? Are you saying that global operators would have to artificially divide their networks into chunks ? And who would control what goes between such chunks ? ITU-T ? What about new zoo of satellites just launched to precisely offer Internet without any geo boundaries ? Would we need to now map earth continents to orbit and create "fences" in the space as well ? Sorry but not only that would be end of the Internet but possibly end of Google, MS, FB and other global operators and enterprises too. Or maybe the idea is to kill open Internet and still allow enterprises to be global and take most of the transit ? Best, R.
